    • Fragrance: Stirling - Ramblin’ Man EdT

    I still have no idea what I’m doing with this straight. Slightly sliced my cheek and nicked my chin a couple of times.

    Pretty good results, though, and El Cantinero smells great.

    Monday, April 28, 2025: Mike’s Monday

    • Brush: Chisel & Hound Malachine - Oumo Rorschach 26mm badger
    • Razor: RazoRock - Game Changer .76
    • Blade: Gillette - 7 O’Clock SharpEdge (8)
    • Lather: Mike’s Natural Soaps - Vetiver
    • Post Shave: Barrister and Mann - Roam Two Aftershave splash
    • Post Shave: Stirling - Glacial Unscented Aftershave balm
    • Fragrance: Chanel - Égoïste EdT

    No straight tonight because I’m way too tired and want to let my skin heal a bit.

    Phenomenal shave with Mike’s Vetiver, and Roam Two is always excellent. No frag after the shave, but this is what I wore to work today. It’s quickly becoming a favorite.

    I definitely prefer shaving in the morning, but it’s much easier for me to get a run in if I can get out of the house before work. It’s also not a bad way to wind down at the end of the day.

    • Brush: Zenith/Stirling - 510SE-XL 31mm boar
    • Razor: Koraat - Moarteen (15/16", full hollow) (2)
    • Razor: GEM - MMOC (first gen, 1930-1932)
    • Blade: Personna - GEM PTFE (12)
    • Lather: Barrister and Mann - Lavanille
    • Post Shave: Barrister and Mann - Lavanille Aftershave splash
    • Post Shave: Stirling - Glacial Unscented Aftershave balm
    • Fragrance: Barrister and Mann - Lavender, Interrupted EdT

    Still learning what the hell I’m doing with this straight. Finished off with the MMOC since I need a smooth finish for work tomorrow. I’m not sure if it’s my lather or my angle, but the first two passes (WTG, XTG) felt pretty tuggy with the straight.

    Lavanille is always lovely to shave with.

    • Brush: Chisel & Hound Malachite - Oumo Rorschach 26mm badger
    • Razor: Koraat – Moarteen (15/16", full hollow) (1)
    • Lather: Stirling - I, Rich Moose
    • Post: Stirling - I, Rich Moose Aftershave splash
    • Post: Ginger’s Garden - Unscented Aftershave balm (+menthol)
    • Frag: SIR - Irisch Moos EdT

    Today was my first shave with the Moarteen, as well as my first ever straight razor shave. Talk about a different skill!

    The shave went mostly fine. I only did WTG + XTG on my face and WTG + WTG on my neck. Unsurprisingly, I’m not as close as I usually am after a safety razor shave, especially under my chin, but there’s practically no irritation. I reopened a cut from a previous shave and nicked myself on a mole near my jawline, but otherwise, no blood!

    Probably the most difficult part of this shave was figuring out how to hold the razor for different parts of the shave. I have no intuition for how the way I’m holding the razor will translate to my face (if that makes sense). I’m definitely looking forward to developing that intuition and just some comfort with the open blade.

    Also my first shave with this brush and soap. The Rorschach knot has a nice scrub to it, without being poky. Very good density. Thanks u/wallygator88 for the passaround!

    I, Rich Moose smells great and performed just as well as Stirling always does. Thanks, u/jwoods23, for the smush. It seems this frag doesn’t burn my face, so I’m in for the Sheep Moos!
